Was given this as a gift and absolutely loved it. Fun to build and looks cute with the plant you put it in. Thanks for creating these models, would buy more :D
I was so impressed by the quality of the wood and the perfect fit of the pieces. This was my 2nd Tiny Treehouse project and both were just challenging enough to be interesting and just easy enough to not be frustrating. All my co-workers are taking pictures of my office plants and asking for the ordering information.
Forest Cottage is my favorite! 3 of the 5 Tiny Tree Houses I’ve built have been Forest Cottage, and I’ve given 2 as gifts. I have built 2 others as well. I find these fun and relaxing to build. The instructions are easy to follow and the pieces easily snap in place. I highly recommend them!
Love building this kit. It’s so cute. I wasn’t expecting it would have full rooms with furniture. The laser cut pieces were easy to fit together. Only once in a while was there a minor struggle, but it all came together and looks great. I will definitely purchase another set.
I was surprised at how precise the pieces were cut. They snapped out easily and I only had to sand burrs off a couple of pieces. I'm sure I stressed a few but I didn't break any. You just have to be careful where you are grabbing for opposing leverage when you are snapping the pieces into place. It took several enjoyable hours to complete but overall was easier more trouble-free than I had expected.
I had the best time putting this Cottage together! It was challenging but still really fun. When I ordered, I didn't realize there were levels of difficulty. I based my purchase on size. Turns out I picked one of the most intricate designs. Didn't matter. It was still a lot of fun to put together and it works exactly the way I wanted it to. I plan to buy another just for the fun of putting it together.
I love all of these products. They are super easy to put together. I like to take them to the next level by painting them. That way I can make them even more realistic and they’re all a little bit different. I 10 out of 10 recommend these products. I have made a total of four of them now, and I can’t wait to make all of them!
I loved building this. It had the right level of difficulty. The instructions were very clear and the finished product adds an element to my indoor garden that I could have never imagined!! Looking forward to testing how far my responsibility can go and limiting myself to maybe just a few more in the future! I completed the build in one night and it was very fun and rewarding. If you're on the fence there's no need, the decision is easy! Highly recommend this!!
I have loved making all the 6 tiny treehouses that I've ordered so far. Instructions are clear, the pieces come out easily. It might take some sandpapering to get some of the pieces in place, but easily done with patience and a steady hand. Wonderful fun! I'm creating a whole little village of treehouses so keep them coming!
Hours of fun! It's important to read and review each step so you are sure to get the best result. The directions are well written and illustrated(easy to follow).
I love building these tiny tree houses, and this is my favorite design. However, the only criticism is that a few pieces were very fragile and broke easily when I was trying to push them into place so I’ve had to use a lot of glue to touch up on this one . Fortunately you can’t tell and it still looks great. Easy to follow instructions. I’ll definitely be buying more.
I enjoyed building my treehouse in the evening. I found myself totally immersed in the building and the calming effect it had after a stressful day at work. The directions were very thorough and the photographs were extremely well drawn. Very easy to follow! I’ll definitely get another
My wife and I just put this together in just about two hours. The pieces all fit snugly, and it wasn't overly difficult at all to fit some of the tighter pieces together. Every piece was extremely well cut to fit well without being a hassle to force into place. We're definitely going to be looking into another Tiny Treehouse for more of our house plants!
I love this little house! It was so easy to put together - the instructions were great! I have a second one that I will work on next and I may purchase additional ones!
This is a nighttime photo of all of the tiny tree houses that I have done. They have been a fun challenge in these cold winter days. Would love to see some new ones.
So cute! I love it! I actually asked my husband if he would put this together for me before I ordered it. I don't have the patience for small tedious things. It took him a few hours but he enjoyed it. I love that it lights up too. Worth every penny.
I was very impressed with the precision and how well the entire project went together. The instructions were so easy. I really can't say enough. Will order again!!!
The hood.
Started with the temple, then the outpost and today I did the cottage.
Building these has helped me with controlling my patience and having a more gentle touch, between the three I only broke four pieces that you would never notice had been fixed. I also didn’t smash one out of impatient frustration🤣, so far, so good.
Thank you for these, I had a fun time doing them, I wish you had more difficult ones, maybe in the future.
This was a fantastic model kit! The precision of the pieces and the joinery were impressive. The instructions are clear except sometimes the numbering switches from Left to Right to Up to Down. The box says 2-3hour but it definitely took me twice as long than that. Overall enjoyable and I’m eager to do another one!
Fun to make and really cute displayed among my plants. I love to customize the kits by cutting and adding tiny bits to the rooms to provide little furnishings, and things like spigot handles, and pillows for the couches. I recommend the usb light kit option—it’s really useful and easy to install. I have made two and have three more waiting for other plants and gifts.
I love all things miniature and had wanted one of these for awhile. Instructions were clear, the parts were easy to find although a bit fiddly to work with as you’d expect. Take your time as they will break if you aren’t gentle. I used three different stains on the wood and added a few of my own touches just because. Lights worked perfectly. I highly recommend as it was a lot of fun and looks beautiful in my pothos!!
What a fun way to spend a few hours putting this together! Used some glue to keep the tub together and fix a roof when I pressed too hard. Really happy with how it turned out, now want to get them all! =)
We loved building this! It looks gorgeous in our rubber tree plant pot. We did use some Mod Podge to glue in a few pieces that fell out while building, but the majority of pieces didn’t need any glue. This was so fun!
The quality and care in designing these kits and the directions is particularly apparent when working on a higher complexity model. After having put together 4 tiny treehouses, I'm spoiled and really notice the difference when going to other kits. These create beautiful high quality and high detail models, which I adore and add so much life to my plant pots.
Each treehouse comes with an Acrylic Stake, so the wood does not come into contact with the soil.
If you accidentally splash a treehouse when watering your plant, not to worry - just shake off the excess water and let it air dry.
The treehouses can withstand regular light misting of surrounding plants.
How long does it take to assemble a 3D model kit?
The assembly time for our model kits can vary depending on the complexity of the model. Generally, it can take anywhere from 1-3 of hours to complete the assembly. Each kit is designed to provide an enjoyable, immersive experience, allowing you to take your time and enjoy the crafting journey. Check out our simple, moderate and intricate level puzzles.
HOW DIFFICULT ARE THEY TO BUILD?
The treehouses vary in difficulty and have been rated from 1 - 6
Absolutely! Most kits let you choose to build with a flat base or an acrylic plant stake, so you can create a piece that aligns with your preferences and space requirements. Hanging treehouses also have a variety of hanging display options. For more information on display and build options, check out the product pages or feel free to contact our dedicated customer service team.
How do I care for my Tiny Treehouse when using it with plants?
Caring for your Tiny Treehouse involves very little maintenance! We provide detailed care instructions with each purchase, offering tips that ensure your tiny treehouse remains in optimal condition. If using your tiny treehouse outdoors, see our Weatherproofing Guide.
CAN THEY BE USED OUTDOORS?
The wood is untreated and not waterproof, but you can varnish it with a weatherproof varnish to help protect it from the elements. Check out our how-to guide here.
DO THEY INCLUDE LIGHTS?
Each Signature and Mini Tiny Treehouse kit comes with battery-operated LED lights. (Batteries not included)
USB Lights with Timer are available as an optional upgrade, allowing you to plug in your treehouse and eliminating the need for batteries. For more information, click here
DOES IT REQUIRE GLUE?
The models have been designed with precision to fit together snugly without the need for glue.
However, there may be instances where the outer pieces of the model are slightly loose, and a drop of glue suitable for wood will secure it in place.
If you have pets or children around, we recommend you glue some of the outer pieces down to make the model more durable.
